Excellent job of making it look so natural; people often overlook that aspect and yet it is so important! I also loved your detailed, comedic commentaries on the fish rather than just a list of what is present. Great photos too. . . loved the close-ups! And yes, thanking our wives most of all is a futile yet valiant effort at gaining their approval for an overwhelming amount of funds spent. lol!!! Seriously though, AWESOME JOB.

Congratulations copps!
Copps is a very nice guy, I had the pleasure of doing business with him a few months ago, I got about 7-8 sps frags from him I believe, and it's all doing great. His tank is nice, and he deserves this. |

Nice.
How shallow is sand bed and what type of cleanup crew do you use. |

Really really impressive tank, incredible colour and a real choice selection of fish. Have my eye on a red sea regal myself...and the bristletooth tang,never come across one of those before.
Great job keep it up

Congratulations Bro. First you got a NANO reef TOTM award and now this. Can't wait until you move and get your 180 up and future 450+ up to see what you can do with something that big.
Nice to look at your tank and know some of my coral frags once again made it into a print story. I'm happy I met you when you first joined WAMAS and was able to help populate your original 10g tank with some corals. You have repaid me nicely with your generosity of many frags in return over the years. You really are one of the best reef keepers I know and am proud to call my friend. I know the highlight was having Bruce Carlson come see your tanks in person this summer when he came and spoke at WAMAS symposium. Well buddy-boy, get busy cause we host MACNA XVII next year and your 180 will be up by then and you can host a mega tank tour for all that come to the area. Craig

John:
Extremely nice. I am very glad to see how you have progressed from the best nano I have ever seen (refugium and all) to a gorgeous tank. Keep up the good work. Alberto the aquarist formerly known as a WAMAS member!!
